Milky Quartz
The Mother’s Stone
At Last
She feeds her baby
and it is the first loving touch
she has ever felt
in her bruised and battered life.
She strengthens and nourishes
her little one,
and introduces him to love and trust
and he does the same for her.
He thrives, and so does she,
for the first time;
for the first time, and forever.

Sacred Story
Kamadhenu is the mother of the Earth and the Hindu goddess of plenty. With the head and torso of a woman and the body of a cow, she is able to fulfill all of the deepest wishes of her petitioners. Her extraordinary milk is said to form the cosmic milk ocean. Containing six flavors it has the essence of all the best things of the earth. It is because of her that all cows are revered in Hinduism.
